Suspect Arrested in Kenya MonthsAfter a Nurse Was Found Slain and Mutilated at Boston Airport

A wave of relief washed over the family of slain Massachusetts nurse Margaret Mbitu as news of a suspect's arrest reached them across the Atlantic. Months after her brutal murder at Boston's Logan Airport sent shockwaves through the community, Kenyan authorities apprehended Kevin Kangethe, Mbitu's former partner, in a Nairobi nightclub.

The investigation, fuelled by chilling details like slash and stab wounds found on Mbitu's body, revealed Kangethe's swift departure from the scene and subsequent flight to Kenya. Surveillance footage served as a crucial piece of the puzzle, capturing his movements at the airport shortly before and after the crime.

This international true crime saga underscores the relentless pursuit of justice in domestic violence cases. Kangethe's arrest, a testament to the dedication of law enforcement in the US and Kenya, brings renewed hope for Mbitu's family as they await his extradition and eventual prosecution.

Their statement, filled with gratitude and a yearning for justice, serves as a powerful reminder of the fight against domestic violence and the importance of global collaboration in bringing perpetrators to account.

While Kangethe's legal representation remains unclear, one thing is certain: this case serves as a chilling example of the devastating impact of domestic violence, and a beacon of hope for justice, even when it transcends borders.
